Abstract
Certain resistant strains of houseflies are distinguished from susceptible strains by greater enzyme activity for the oxidation of several insecticide chemicals. This may contribute to the mechanism of resistance. Abdomens are a convenient source of this enzyme

In the article entitled "Metabolism of Methyl -carbamate Insecticides by the NADPH2-requiring Enzyme System from Houseflies" by M. Tsukamoto and J. E. Casida (Nature, 213, 49; 1967), the following corrections should be made: page 49, left-hand column, line 18, mammalian liver microsome-reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH2) system; line 23, the liver microsome-NADPH2 system; line 26, insect micro-some-NADPH2 systems; line 37, an insect enzyme-NADPH2 system.
